Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

The Dua Brand His Obsession is a men's fragrance in parfum concentration, or Extrait de Parfum, created for those who appreciate rich, expressive compositions with a noticeable presence.
The perfume belongs to the oriental and woody families, combining a fresh citrus spark, spicy depth, resinous nuances and a warm woody base.
The composition was created by Mahsam Raza, the perfumer and founder of the brand.
His approach is evident in the effort to create a multilayered fragrance with a strong character: His Obsession is not limited to a single accord, but gradually changes its mood, moving from a fresh and spicy opening to a soft, warm and sensual dry-down.
At the opening, the composition feels bright and energetic, thanks to the citrus nuances of bergamot, grapefruit, lime and mandarin.
Their sparkling effect is supported by pink pepper, coriander and the aromatic nuances of lavender and sage, making the opening not merely fresh, but textured and slightly spicy.
As it develops, His Obsession becomes warmer and deeper.
Cinnamon, clove and nutmeg add spicy expressiveness, while jasmine softens the composition with a delicate white-floral accent.
Myrrh and amber intensify the oriental mood, creating the impression of a dense, slightly smoky and alluring aromatic fabric.
The final stage is built around sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, pine and rosewood. Vanilla and musk make the woody-resinous character rounder and more comfortable without taking away its intensity.
As a result, the perfume leaves a warm, rich and recognizable trail in which freshness gradually gives way to spicy woods.
The declared sillage of His Obsession is very strong, so the fragrance requires careful attention to dosage.
When getting to know the composition, it is enough to start with one spray on the skin, assess its intensity during the first few minutes and only then add another if necessary.
On the skin, the perfume is especially expressive in cool weather, when the amber, spicy and woody accords unfold smoothly and with volume.
It is a suitable choice for an evening, a formal occasion, a business meeting or a special event when you want to emphasize confidence and individuality.
In hot weather, it is best applied sparingly, as its high concentration and powerful sillage may feel too intense.
The Dua Brand continues an American perfumery story that began in 2016 with the work of Mahsam Raza.
His Obsession reflects the brand's character through its bold presentation, high concentration and desire to make the fragrance noticeable from the very first minutes.
This is not a neutral everyday composition, but an expressive release for fans of dense oriental-woody fragrances.
The perfume is positioned as a men's fragrance, but its spicy amber character may appeal to anyone who enjoys rich woody compositions with vanilla softness and resinous depth.
His Obsession is worth choosing for those who value strength, longevity and a pronounced trail, as well as multifaceted development instead of a light, watercolor-like scent.
For a further exploration of a similar mood, consider Mugler A*Men Pure Malt Creation, which can also be considered by lovers of rich, warm and distinctive men's fragrances.
At the same time, His Obsession stands out through its combination of a citrus opening, a spicy heart and a dense woody-amber base.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The fragrance composition of His Obsession is presented not as a separate pyramid of notes, but as a unified, multi-layered blend of citrus, spicy, woody, resinous and musky nuances.
The fresh accord features bergamot, grapefruit, lime and mandarin, complemented by pink pepper, coriander, lavender and sage.
Cinnamon, clove and nutmeg create spicy depth, while jasmine adds a soft white-floral nuance to the composition.
Amber and myrrh support the fragrance's oriental character, gradually blending with patchouli, pine, rosewood, sandalwood and vetiver.
Vanilla and musk linger in the trail, making the rich woody-resinous scent rounder, warmer and more sensual.
